News

Lindholm scored his 10th goal of the season during Tuesday's 4-0 win over Washington.

Impact

The 24-year-old defenseman is having his best offensive season with 10 goals and 14 assists through 54 games. However, his real value is in his ability to match up against the opposition's top players in a shut-down role and still drive possession. While it's unfortunate that Lindhom's real-world dominance doesn't fully translate to fantasy, he's still a solid depth contributor in most settings.

News

Lindholm notched a marker and a helper Friday in a 3-2 win over Edmonton.

Impact

Lindholm is just a point away from matching his total from last season, but he's not likely to stop there. He's likely to set a new high in goals and could top 35 points for the first time in his career. That's a quality contribution from anyone on the blue line.

News

Lindholm has collected a goal, five assists and a plus-5 rating through nine January games.

Impact

The 23-year-old defenseman is one of the best two-way blueliners in the league, and his fantasy numbers are finally starting to catch up to his real-world dominance. Lindholm regularly matches up against the opposition's top players and still posts excellent possession numbers (52.0 Corsi For percentage this season). Additionally, he's taking a step forward offensively with a career-high 0.47 points and 1.97 shots per game in 2017-18. He's a serviceable fantasy asset in most settings.

News

Lindholm collected a pair of helpers in a 5-0 win over the Canucks on Tuesday.

Impact

Lindholm had gone quiet in the four games since his hat trick on Dec. 21 against the Islanders, but he's now got 13 points in 28 games this year. The Swede hasn't put up more than 34 months in a single campaign at the NHL level, and it doesn't appear that the departure of fellow blueliner Sami Vatanen earlier this year will lead to a larger offensive role for Lindholm.

News

Lindholm scored three goals -- including the game-winner -- with six shots and a plus-3 rating during Thursday's 5-4 overtime victory over the Islanders.

Impact

Lindholm is an underappreciated real-world player, and his fantasy value often suffers because of his role of matching up against the opposition's top scorers night in, night out. He certainly made a statement here, though. The 23-year-old Swede has just 11 points through 23 games for the campaign, so he's not a universal asset, but he's definitely a player to keep tabs on in all settings because the upside to put it all together is there.

News

Lindholm (upper body) was taken off injured reserve ahead of Saturday's clash with Washington, per the NHL media site.

Impact

Lindholm is slated to suit up alongside Josh Manson according to Tom Gulitti of NHL.com. The 23-year-old returns to the lineup following a five-game absence. In order to create space under the 23-man roster limit, the Ducks placed Nick Ritchie on IR.

News

Impact

Thursday marks the Swedish blueliner's fifth consecutive absence, though he is traveling with the team on their current six-game road trip, meaning a return to the lineup could come soon. Lindholm had recorded eight points -- five coming with a man advantage -- in 19 games prior to this injury while averaging nearly 24 minutes of time on ice per game. Look for additional updates on Lindholm as the Ducks continue their road trip.

News

Lindholm (upper body) will skate with the Ducks on Wednesday and will go on the team's six-game road trip that begins Thursday in St. Louis.

Impact

There's been no indication thus far as to when specifically Lindholm will be able to return to the lineup, but this report implies that it will be sometime between Thursday and Dec. 23 when Anaheim's road trip ends in Pittsburgh. Of the numerous Ducks dealing with an injury right now, the Swede is actually the only defenseman, so it wouldn't be surprising if the Ducks were to hold him out a bit longer than expected just to be safe.

News

Lindholm (upper body) is listed on injured reserve, per the NHL's official media site.

Impact

Even with this transaction retroactive to his last game played (Dec. 2 in Nashville), Lindholm will now miss at least the next two games. Jaycob Megna is the fill-in option, albeit an inexperienced one, so consider seeking alternatives if your fantasy blue line needs patchwork.

News

Lindholm traveled back to Anaheim after suffering his upper-body injury, effectively ruling him out against the Golden Knights on Tuesday.

Impact

Taking into account the fact that Vegas is heading into a back-to-back, it seems unlikely Lindholm will be ready to play Wednesday versus Ottawa either. The Ducks are hoping the defenseman's ailment is not a long-term issue, but did not provide any additional specifics. Jaycob Megna was recalled from the minors to slot into Lindholm's spot on the blue line.
